He's always liked Maroney. Portis is an injury prone RB. It makes sense for both teams. I don't know what value we could get out of the trade, but Washington could be a possible destination if we could work out a deal.
How many more times are we gonna here that Shanahan liked Maroney. This thread has been started at least three times before.
LoMo is a Patriot and a good one too.

Why does everyone on this board think Maroney is the franchise and "no, if we trade him, we are DOOMED at rb". He's average, and very expendable.

"Everyone"? Name one poster that's said that.
Wanting to keep someone based on production and salary is very different than saying he is the "franchise" or "if we trade him, we are DOOMED at rb".
So if Washington offered a trade, why wouldn't you accept it?
You want me to argue against a hypothetical trade for no one? That doesn't answer my question, but who said I wouldn't?
In general I think Maroney's production/salary ratio means more to the Pats than what they could get for him in a trade. I also think that the Pats have many more important things to do than work out trades to try to upgrade the easiest-to-upgrade position on the field.
But name the trade and I'll tell you if I'd accept it or not.
